Thank you for the suggestion, but you did not answer my question. Is there a performance penalty, or am I to assume this from your reply? Perhaps you could provide a list of Internet based repositories that I can bookmark so I can implement your suggestion and determine for myself what could have been easily answered by anyone experiencing the issues alluded to by the original poster. > It doesn't depend on how long you use Versions.

Is there a difference between updating a repository with a slow connection verses one with no connection? I have several repos bookmarked to which I can only connect when I am at a specific location, and this does not seem to affect the performance of Versions at all. If the updating of repository badges from slow connections does affect the overall performance of Versions, perhaps this aspect of the product could be handled by worker threads, leaving the main application responsive? -- Kevin Powick Since I have several bookmarked repositories to which I can only connect > > Ganesh --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.

Out of curiosity, why is this a problem? Does it introduce some type of performance penalty? I've only been using Versions for a couple of months, so perhaps I have yet to experience the implications of the situation you describe. However, I agree with Dirk that I would not want the extra overhead of enabling/disabling various bookmarks, plus having to understand additional visual status indicators.

Really? Actually I think I read on this forum (surely not from you) exactly the opposite. This is very good, actually. I wish it was written more clearly in the docs or be advertised more strongly as I was totally unaware of that feature although I'm using Versions for more than six months. I am already used to organize bookmarks in folders, yet I decided to disable badges long time ago in fear of having all of them updated (including the hidden ones).

Re: Disable auto syncing with repo
The way to do this right now, is to group several bookmarks in a folder and collapse it in the bookmarks list. Any indicators that aren't visible will not be updated. This may seem convoluted, since many people will want to organize their bookmarks by category (like e.g. applications, frameworks and websites) and not by groups of repositories that belong to one catgory of work they do. A major drawback of offering an active/inactive-toggle per bookmark is that it adds an additional layer of administrative work to dealing with bookmarks that (I think) most Versions users don't need. It's easy to forget that which bookmarks are active, so we would have to indicate their active/inactive status in the bookmarks list itself (one idea: by graying out the icons when inactive. another one: do something similar to what Mail.app does to indicate an account is offline, but that's way too much clutter imho.). Regardless of what kind of indication we go for, this feature will require us to add some extra visual clutter to the bookmarks list. All that being said, we'll look into this. :) Cheers, - Dirk the Versions team On Jun 25, 11:06 am, Alberto Ganesh Barbati wrote: > +1 on that > > On 25 Giu, 00:49, asidden wrote: > > > > > Hi all! > > > Is there any way to make Versions temporary disable auto connection to > > the specified bookmark? > > I have several bookmarks for different repos and when i launch > > Versions.app - all of that are connected, even the ones i haven't used > > for a long time.

Disable auto syncing with repo
Hi all! Is there any way to make Versions temporary disable auto connection to the specified bookmark? I have several bookmarks for different repos and when i launch Versions.app - all of that are connected, even the ones i haven't used for a long time. Probably this will be a good idea to add "active/non- active" states for bookmarks? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.
